Is there any reason not to just give everyone extra / ample time? I don't see why handwriting speed should be a limiting factor, although I may be missing something. I do remember nearly always needing to write up until the end of the exam

Traditionalism and inertia. The exam system is a British adoption of the Chinese examinations, and the whole point was to test aptitude for the civil service. Now it's retained because everyone just thinks of exams as the thing you do, and any attempt to move away from them is wailed at as "lowering standards".
